Where this comes from

Abstract

Careful and thorough planning are essential aspects of a clinical trial that can make the difference and lead to a more successful trial. The value of feasibility studies should be recognized. The use of surrogate endpoints has justifiably come under increased scrutiny. The many complex issues of implementation demand experienced trial investigators. An openness to learn from lessons in previous trials is essential.
